Want to see your home from your phone when you're out? Here are rough prices for packages with installation, the difference between camera types, and what to check before it's fitted.
Rough prices for homes. The final price depends on the number and resolution of the cameras, the recorder and the length of the cabling.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| 4 cameras with recorder, installed | SAR 1,200 – 2,800 |
| 8 cameras with recorder, installed | SAR 2,000 – 3,500 |
| Installation only (your own cameras) | SAR 700 – 1,500 |
💡 Ask whether the price includes the hard drive (storage), how many days it records, and whether there's an app to watch from your phone.
🔌 Wired cameras are usually more reliable than Wi-Fi, but need cabling. Wi-Fi is easier to fit, but depends on your internet.
A rough guide from 5 sources in Riyadh (October 2026), including averages of real jobs by Riyadh customers and companies' price pages. The final price is agreed between you and the installer. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
The camera has weak night vision, or lights reflect into it. Colour night-vision cameras (ColorVu) make a big difference.
Usually the internet dropped or the router changed. Ask the installer to show you how to reconnect.
The hard drive is small. Ask how many days it holds, and upgrade it if you want longer.
Usually the power adapter or the cable. Sun and heat wear out exposed adapters.
Riyadh dust covers the lens. Wipe it every few months with a soft cloth.
Plan the camera positions with the installer first: doors, entrances and the car park.
Ask about the brand of cameras and recorder, and the resolution (2, 4 or 8 MP).
How many days does it keep recordings? Is there a phone app in Arabic or English?
Are the cables hidden in conduit? Does the price include all the cabling?
How long is the warranty, and will they come back if a camera stops?
Ask them to change the default password and give it to you, so nobody else can get into your cameras.
Look at past work and genuine reviews from earlier customers.
Coming soon. We're checking CCTV installers and companies across every part of Riyadh now: phone number, ID and past work. Then you'll be able to contact them directly, with no commission.
Point cameras at your own home and entrances, not at neighbours' houses or windows.
Wipe the dust off outdoor cameras every few months.
Use a strong password for the app and recorder, and don't share it.
Now and then, play back an old recording and check every camera is recording.

Join freeAn apartment usually needs 2 to 4 (door and entrance). A villa usually needs 4 to 8, depending on entrances, the yard and parking.
Wired is more reliable and better for villas. Wi-Fi is easier for apartments with no cabling, but depends on the internet.
No. Laqeeni is a directory that connects you with the installer directly. You agree and pay between you.
